Question

I’ve created a custom drag event, but unfortunately when I am dragging my div around all of the text on the page is being selected where I drag. I’ve tried this so far:

$(document).mousemove(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
});

This isn’t doing it. Any thoughts?

The drag starts with the mousedown event.

$(document).mousedown(function(e){e.preventDefault();});
